The ground was ferle; the river provided ample water. So Illtud built himself a hut, and for the next three months learnt how to pray. He fed on wild roots and fruit, but also cleared the land round his hut and sowed seed. Llantwit Major This valley near the sea became the largest school in the whole of Britain.

  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).

  • AN INTRODUCTORY HISTORY of the ORTHODOX CHURCH in BRITAIN and IRELAND from Its Beginnings to the Eleventh Century
    1 AN INTRODUCTORY HISTORY OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH IN BRITAIN AND IRELAND From its Beginnings to the Eleventh Century By Aidan Hart PART I (until 600 AD) “In all parts of Spain, among the diverse nations of the Gauls, in regions of the Britons beyond Roman sway but subjected to Christ... the name of Christ now reigns.” (Tertullian in “Adversus Judaeos” Ch. 7, circa 200 AD) Introduction There is a saying on Mount Athos that it is not where we live that saves us but the way we live. This is a play on the Greek words topos and tropos . One could add that neither is it when we live that saves us. And yet on reading the lives of saints who lived in other epochs and other lands it is easy to feel that it is impossible for us, in our circumstances, to approach their level of repentance and humility. This is one reason why many British and other English speakers are being attracted to the saints of the British Isles: although these saints lived over a millennium ago they lived on our own soil, or at least on that of our ancestors. It is as though these local saints are not only supporting us from heaven, but are also with us here, on the same soil where they once struggled in the spiritual life. How eagerly the saints of Britain must await our prayers that the land in which they so mightily laboured should again become a garden of virtue! It is difficult to be inspired by saints about whom we know little.

  • John Myles (1621-83) and the Future of Ilston's Past: Welsh Baptists After
    176 JOHN MYLES (1621-83) AND THE FUTURE OF ILSTON'S PAST Welsh Baptists after three and a half centuries" Although the name I1ston has become synonymous with the witness of those believers who, during the Commonwealth period, established 'a company or society of people holding forth and practising the doctrine, order and discipline of the, Gospel according to [the] primitive institution', I the Christian faith had taken root in that part of Glamorgan's Gower peninsula over a thousand years before. For the parish of Ilston - Llanilltud-yng-NgWyr - traced its ancestry back far beyond the Reformation and the earlier enforced amalgamation between Canterbury and the indigenous Welsh Church to that period in our history which we still delight in calling 'the Age of the Saints'. Ilston's patron was Illtud (c.475-c.525), the grandson of Amlawdd Wledig, King of Britain, and a courtier who, according to medieval tradition, was converted from a life of privileged worldliness to a severe ascetic discipleship much influenced by the example of St Anthony of Egypt and, closer to home, St Martin of Tours. The father of Celtic monasticism in Wales, Illtud's principal settlement in the Vale of Glamorgan drew not only those who felt called to a simple community life of prayer but others who sought to combine asceticism with learning, culture and missionary zeal. Samson, later the leader of the Breton Church; Paul whose name would become entwined with the primitive Christian tradition of Cornwall; the scholarly Gildas, author of that early Jeremiad De Excidio Britanniae; and the great Dewi himself, 'St David of Wales', were all trained in Christian discipleship and service at the monastery of Llanilltud Fawr.
